Verkada announces the addition of two new, plug-and-play cameras to its existing product line: the D40 mini dome and the D80 fisheye camera. Like the rest of the company’s cameras, these added form factors send motion-triggered video metadata to the Cloud and store up to 120 days of retained footage on-board the device.
Verkada says this “hybrid-Cloud” approach solves a series of deep-rooted problems in the video security space — spanning across infrastructure limitations, to hidden management overhead such as the cost of hardware maintenance over time.

Verkada says its software-driven system has been adopted by over 400 customers across all verticals — adding an average of 14 new customers per week. “The fact that Verkada has seen the growth it has in just over a year’ of operations is impressive, but not unexpected. The junction of trends in this market — IoT security, hardware, AI and the increased need for security in specific markets — makes this the right team, at the right time. We’re enthusiastic supporters of Verkada,” says Bill Trenchard, board member and partner at First Round Capital. The company has added 20 new hires in the past month alone. With Verkada cameras already installed in every U.S. State and throughout Canada, plans of further expansion are on the horizon, according to the company
